Dressed to Suite Award winning fashion-turned -furniture designer Alexander Julian introduces exciting new additions to his ongoing collaboration with furniture craftsman Jonathan Charles. “Fashion is a test track, I look for timeless shapes and colors which are proven to appeal to both women and men simultaneously,” explains Julian. With a new emphasis on natural and organic materials and bleached wood, these products are as he states, “designed for sun and sand, my favorite environment, no matter where I live.” The iconic innovator “loved working with Master designer Jonathan Charles and his incredible craftsmen to create unique new collectables which prove that fashion follows function.” Employing rich and exotic materials, Jonathan Charles’ skilled artisans handcraft every piece, fusing the brand’s signature marquetry techniques with Julian’s sartorial vision. From whimsical “Dapper Man” and “Coco” lamps to subtle iterations of herringbone using Capiz shells and acacia, Alexander Julian merges fashion and furniture design into fashion statements for the home.
